Do you agree with the following statement? Justify your answer.

*Although the industry is moving toward component-based construction, most software continues to be custom-built.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT - ASAP

Do you agree with the statement that “nothing great would ever be built if people knew in advance what the real costs and challenges were”?

Please define moment of arm (regarding physics) in a way I can understand. it is referring to the arm on a mousetrap car that was built. I need to discuss its effectiveness

How has Southwest built its resources to meets its generic strategy, competitive forces and add value to its customers?  (Hint: Resource Based Model)

Q in c++ Write a program that will find the inverse of any two dimensional array without the usage of the built-in function.? plz answer in while or do while loop

E.g., given an array-backed list lst containing the elements [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 98, 99], the following code:

  for x in lst.poly_iter(2, 3, 4):
      print(x)

will produce the output:

  4
  9
  18
  31
  48
  69
  94

Programming rules:

• You must adhere to the same rules when using the built-in Python list as you did in the ArrayList lab.
• You may not use any other data structures (this includes the built-in Python list).

class ArrayList:
def __init__(self):
self.data = []
  
def poly_iter(self, a, b, c):
# YOUR CODE HERE

1. Suppose you just won the state lottery, and you have a choice between receiving $2,550,000 today or a 20-year annuity of $250,000, with the first payment coming one year from today. What rate of return is built into the annuity? Disregard taxes.

2. Your girlfriend just won the Florida lottery. She has the choice of $15,000,000 today or a 20-year annuity of $1,050,000, with the first payment coming one year from today. What rate of return is built into the annuity?

3. How much would $100, growing at 5% per year, be worth after 75 years?

Design a Ship class that has the following members:

• A member variable for the name of the ship (a string)
• A member variable for the year that the ship was built (a string)
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators
• A virtual print function that displays the ship’s name and the year it was built.

Design a CruiseShip class that is derived from the Ship class. The CruiseShip class
should have the following members:

• A member variable for the maximum number of passengers (an int )
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators
• A print function that overrides the print function in the base class. The CruiseShip class’s print function should display only the ship’s name and the maximum number of passengers.

Design a CargoShip class that is derived from the Ship class. The CargoShip class
should have the following members:

• A member variable for the cargo capacity in tonnage (an int ).
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
• A print function that overrides the print function in the base class. The CargoShip class’s print function should display only the ship’s name and the ship’s cargo capacity.

After you have created these classes, create a driver program that defines an array pointers to your abstract base class Ship. It should present a menu to allow the user to enter a Cruise Ship or a Cargo Ship. When the user selects cruise ship, it should prompt them for the name, year built, and the number of passengers. When the user selects cargo ship, it should prompt them ffor the name, year built, and the maxium cargo load (in tons). Each selection should create an object that can be stored into your array of pointers. When the program exits, it should display the history of the session which includes each of the objects the user created which will be a combination of cruise ships and cargo ships. An example output is shown here:

Menu

1. Cruise Ship
2. Cargo Ship
3. Quit
Please make your selection: 2

Please enter the name of the ship: Big Bertha
Please enter the year the ship was built: 1975
Please enter the capacity (tons): 50000

Menu

1. Cruise Ship
2. Cargo Ship
3. Quit
Please make your selection: 1

Please enter the name of the ship: Disney Magic
Please enter the year the ship was built: 1998
Please enter the capacity (passengers): 2400

Menu

1. Cruise Ship
2. Cargo Ship
3. Quit
Please make your selection: 3

The history of your session is

Selected Cargo Ship

Name: Big Bertha
Year: 1975
Capacity (tons): 50000

Selected Cruise Ship

Name: Disney Magic
Year: 1998
Capacity (passengers): 2400

• Think about some of your friends and what you have discovered by visiting their homes. Do they buy different things than you do? If so, why? How might a company distinguish you from them in terms of its targeting?
• Is it always harder to find new customers than it is to retain old ones or does it depend on the business you're in?
• Does one-to-one marketing have to be expensive? How can small organizations interact with their customers in a cost-effective way?
• Are large companies better off using multi segment strategies and small companies better off using niche strategies? Why or why not?
• How have companies such as JCPenney and Sears tried to change their position (reposition their stores)?
• Do you think hotel companies have segmented the market too much and confused customers?
